4. SHARE Motivation
Population ageing in Europe is the challenge of the 21st century
Up to now insufficient information to understand
the impacts on the living conditions of older people and their families
the influences of state policies on these living conditions
SHARE explores the European ‘natural laboratory’ across disciplines and over time by interviewing Europeans 50+
As we all know population ageing is on of the challenges of the 21st century and population ageing is definitly a huge and wide ranging research topic.
SHARE was started to collect information about impacts on the living conditions of older people and their families and
Influences of state policies on these living conditions.
